Amazon Cloud Map

Amazon Cloud Map is a cloud resource discovery service that maintains an updated registry of application resources and their locations. Define custom names for application resources and use Cloud Map to dynamically discover service dependencies with integrated health checking and automatic updates.

Amazon Cloud Map is listed with 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Instances API, Namespaces API, Services API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Amazon Web Services, Cloud Map, Service Discovery, Microservices, and DNS.

The Amazon Cloud Map catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

Amazon Cloud Map’s developer surface includes CLI, getting-started guide, authentication, developer portal, documentation, support, engineering blog, and 45 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented) Ask about this →
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0 Ask about this →
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document Ask about this →
